UHMWPE pipe

Feature of UHMWPE Pipes

Abrasion resistance – UHMWPE pipes have excellent abrasion resistance-15 times than carbon steel, make it has a longer life than steel pipe and HDPE pipe.
Chemical resistance – Highly resistant to corrosive chemicals except oxidizing acids allows the use of UHMWPE systems in tailings pipelines and chemical treatment applications used in mining operations.
Flexibility – UHMWPE pipes can be bent to a minimum of 30 times the pipe’s outside diameter for HDPE. This flexibility and resiliency allows the pipe to absorb surge pressures, vibration and stresses caused by soil movement. This makes the pipes particularly useful in submarine pipe lines, mine subsidence and earthquake prone areas.
High flow capacity – low friction compared with materials such as fibre reinforced cement and resistance to material deposit buildup give UHMWPE pipes long lived high flow capacity.
Lower pumping cost due to greater hydraulic capacity as compared with steel and HDPE pipes.
Easy installation – UHMWPE is light in weights only 1/8 of steel pipe and can by be connected by steel flanges.
